Deer Creek IA 04-UDM-1290
mouth (S13 T90N R29W Webster Co.) to confluence with unnamed tributary in S16 T90N R29W Webster Co.
Assessment Comments
Assessment is based on results of a November 1994 DNR stream use assessment.
Basis for Assessment
Used results of the November 1994 DNR stream use assessment to assess support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses as FST due to (1) habitat score (22) equal to the overall median score for DNR stream use assessments, (2) indications on field sheet of diverse substrates, several pool/riffle sequences, only isolated channel alterations, and relatively stable stream banks, and (3) fish score (11) better than the 75th percentile score (10) for stream assessments made with seines despite notes on field sheet indicating difficult seining conditions due to "numerous snags and large boulders." Field sheet suggests that continued support of the Class B(LR) aquatic life uses is threatened by pasturing of the riparian corridor.
